The Man Who Was Too LoudThough he loved to rock and rollAll these many years He cared about the old people's and little children's ears Though he was a guitar man He reflected and he vowed "Never will I ever be No ne'er, ne'er again The man who was too loud" Johnny's not a poor man No, he never gets him down Now that he is free he is not proud He don't need the power Just to make a sound He is not the man that he used to be Oh, no, the man who was too loud "I will play softly I will play softly, so softly now 'Cause I was the man who was too loud" It's not because he don't respect The popular music star You know I saw him open up For the king of the surf guitar Do not think he does not like The cheering of the crowd No, he is glad that they came to see The man who used to be The man who was too loud Johnny is a rich man Yeah, he still gets around He is glad to be the cat who meowed He don't need the power Just to get his sound He is not the man that he used to be Oh no, no, the man who was too loud "I will play softly I will play softly, so softly now 'Cause I was the man who was too loud I was way too loud" Though he loved to rock and roll Oh, better not |
